Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 705: Nine Phoenixes

The Sky Demon Emperor’s gaze fell on the hairpin in Jiang Fan’s hand.

His pupils contracted slightly.

With his experience, he naturally also sensed the extraordinary nature of the hairpin.

As Jiang Fan activated it with his Soul Power,

a terrifying aura that made even him feel alarmed surged forth from the hairpin.

So much so that,

the hand he swung down suddenly stopped.

He dared not act rashly anymore.

The playful expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a hint of seriousness.

"What are you doing?"

"Put it down!"

"Put it down immediately!"

Jiang Fan laughed.

He laughed coldly, "What, are you scared?"

"It’s too late!"

"Today, it’s either you die or I die!!"

Boom——

All his Soul Power was infused into the hairpin.

Not a single strand left!

The bronze hairpin began to tremble.

A sprout-shaped green light emerged from the bronze hairpin.

It grew rapidly.

From a sprout, it grew into a small sapling one foot high.

From a sapling, it grew into a ten-zhang tall tree.

The leaves were dense and lush.

It was clearly a Wutong tree.

At this moment,

something on the tree moved.

Looking closely,

a bronze-colored phoenix bird rested on a branch.

Its form was graceful, its gaze cold and proud.

Overlooking all beings like a godly bird atop the clouds.

"Phoenix… phoenix bird?"

The Sky Demon Emperor’s pupils contracted again.

Being stared at by this phoenix bird, his Demon Emperor Realm soul was actually trembling.

As if encountering his nemesis!

But, what gave him a fright was,

there was more than one phoenix bird on the tree.

On other branches, there were more!

Counting roughly, there were nine in total!

All of them stared coldly at the Sky Demon Emperor, making his soul cry in terror.

The Sky Demon Emperor’s face turned stark white, sweat pouring down his body like a fountain.

His body trembled uncontrollably.

Even his voice was shaking abnormally: "Jiang Fan!"

"Stop!"

"I order you to stop immediately!!!"

He was scared.

Truly scared!

This phoenix bird could kill him!

Easily kill him!

He did not expect Jiang Fan to wield something so terrifying in his hand!

Jiang Fan looked up at the Wutong tree, at the nine phoenix birds on it.

He pinned all his hopes on them.

"Go!"

At the command,

the phoenix bird on the topmost branch spread its wings, revealing an incredibly elegant form.

With a flap, it flew towards the Sky Demon Emperor.

"No!"

"Don’t come over!"

"Don’t come over!!"

The Sky Demon Emperor’s complexion changed drastically, and his figure retreated violently.

The phoenix bird flew slowly, gracefully.

Yet the distance between it and the Sky Demon Emperor closed rapidly.

As if the Sky Demon Emperor was marching in place.

Then,

the phoenix bird easily passed through the Sky Demon Emperor’s body.

Emerging from his back.

It caused no injuries.

Just a pair of slender, beautiful talons clutching a Soul Body.

It was precisely the Sky Demon Emperor’s!

"No!"

"No!!!"

The Sky Demon Emperor shouted in terror.

His Soul Body clung tightly to his body, trying not to be taken away.

But his resistance was futile.

The Soul Body was pulled bit by bit from the flesh.

Fear, terror, anger—all spread across the face of the Soul Body.

He despaired.

In front of this phoenix bird, his Demon Emperor Realm’s Soul Body was powerless to resist!

But just as his Soul Body was about to be extracted from the flesh,

the bronze glow from the hairpin suddenly dimmed.

The Wutong tree, along with the figure of the phoenix bird atop it, dimmed quickly.

The phoenix bird clutching the Demon Emperor’s Soul Body disintegrated into a beam of green light and returned to the hairpin.

The Sky Demon Emperor, as if pardoned,

his Soul Body immediately returned to the flesh.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The Sky Demon Emperor crouched on the ground, gasping for air.

His eyes were filled with the shock of a brush with death.

He had almost died!

Died at the hands of Jiang Fan, this human junior!

"Jiang! Fan!"

The Sky Demon Emperor shouted in furious anger.

With a wrathful strike, he fiercely slammed Jiang Fan’s body.

This was a Nascent Soul Strike!

Jiang Fan bitterly smiled, summoning the Sky Observation Treasure.

Reflecting most of the power back.

But the remaining force struck him without fail.

Unlike before in the seabed,

this time, the distance was close.

The armor couldn’t protect him.

Crunch crunch——

His body, like a dry ceramic jar being severely struck.

The bones within him completely shattered.

His organs turned into a mess of flesh.

If not for the armor protecting him, he would have turned into a mist of blood.

"Still not dead?"

The Sky Demon Emperor roared angrily, launching another palm strike at Jiang Fan’s head.

"No!"

Concubine Yunxia couldn’t hold back anymore.

She pleaded.

She couldn’t bear to watch Jiang Fan die before her own eyes.

The Sky Demon Emperor turned to her coldly, his eyes blazing with killing intent:

"You’re pleading for him?"

"Didn’t you see he nearly killed me?"

"You’re pleading for the murderer who almost killed your husband!!!"

He could hardly believe it.

His most beloved concubine was pleading for the man who wanted to kill him!

This made him unspeakably angry!

With a grasp through the air, he pulled Concubine Yunxia over.

Holding her neck tightly, he spoke viciously: "What exactly is your relationship with Jiang Fan?"

"Speak!"

Jiang Fan sighed slightly.

He had told Concubine Yunxia not to act impulsively.

Blood flowed continuously from his mouth as he spoke with difficulty:

"Just kill me, why implicate the innocent."

He was filled with regret.

It was due to his insufficient Soul Power that he couldn’t unleash the full power of the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin.

Otherwise, everything would have ended here.

"Shut up!"

The Demon Emperor looked at him coldly.

He raised his palm, about to execute him.

But then his eyes turned, and he put his hand down.

And let Concubine Yunxia go, speaking gloomily:

"Yun Xia, I don’t like betrayal."

"Neither the body, nor the heart!"

"Now, you kill him with your own hands!"

What?

Concubine Yunxia’s pupils contracted.

She was to kill Jiang Fan with her own hands?

How could she do it?

"Do it!" the Sky Demon Emperor squinted his eyes.

Suspicion deepened in his eyes towards Concubine Yunxia.

Concubine Yunxia’s lips quivered slightly, and she moved with difficulty towards Jiang Fan.

But she just couldn’t bring herself to do it.

"Why aren’t you acting?"

"Could it be, you indeed have an affair with Jiang Fan?"

The Sky Demon Emperor’s eyes shot out a dangerous gleam.

Concubine Yunxia’s body trembled faintly.

She knew how the Sky Demon Emperor would treat a woman who betrayed him.

Exterminating her entire clan!

How could she possibly kill Jiang Fan?

"Still not..." the Sky Demon Emperor was about to scold.

Faintly, a dim light of Buddha appeared shimmering in the distance.

He sneered coldly: "Little beast! You dared to stay!"

"I planned to deal with you later!"

"Now, you don’t have to leave either!"

He leapt towards the Little Qilin.

Before leaving, he gave Concubine Yunxia a cold stare.

"Before I return, I want to see Jiang Fan’s head!"

"Don’t disappoint me."

"Yun Xia!"

With a flick of his sleeve, a terrifying force pierced through Jiang Fan’s abdomen.

Crack——

The Golden Core fragmented.

Countless amounts of Spiritual Power gushed out.

To prevent Jiang Fan from escaping with tricks,

he directly destroyed Jiang Fan’s cultivation!

Jiang Fan grunted and collapsed to the ground.

A bitter expression spread across his face.
